WRECKING CREWS SENT
OUT BEFORE THE CRASH;
OPERATOR COLLAPSES
Concord, N. H., Sept. 16.—In tho of
flee of the train dispatcher of the Con
cord division men awaited the wreck
which they knew was sure to result
from a mistake either In the receiving
or the sending of the orders, and made
preparations for it. Before word was
received that the fast passenger, mov
ing at 40 miles an hour, and the plod
ding freight train had come together,
the operators had sent out orders for
the wrecking crew to bq ready.
”1 know’ where the blame Is. It is
In the Concord depot. 1 have In :ny
pocket order No. 4, delivered to me at
Canaan. They can’t put the blame on
the operator nt Canaan.”—Statement
made by Benjamin J. Lawrence, con
ductor of the freight train.
Operator Has Collapsed.
Those men on duty In the otfico that
runs Ute Concord division discovered
that a mistake hud been made In the
transmission of tho orders. They knew
that No. 30, making up time, was
speeding nt perhaps 60 miles an hour
toward the heavy freight that makes
an average of 30 miles an hour, neither
engineer having the slightest idea that
his orders were wrong.
Dispatcher James A. Browley, who
was In charge of tho dispatcher’s of-
flee hero when the orders were sent
for the two passenger trains and the
freight, has completely collapsed. Ills
mental condition Is such that officials
of the rood fear he may lose his rea
son. He has been with the Boston and
Maine for six years, and previous to
taking that position was a dispatcher
on other roads.
The men In the dispatcher’s office
knew that the freight and the passen
ger train, with full cars of sleeping
excursionists, would meet head-on, and
they were powerless to signal either
one. If the railroad men are to be be
lieved, the discovery was made soon
RAGE OVER CRIMES
Paris, Sept. 16.—Several thousand
persons, many of them women, took
part In demonstrations in the streets
here Sunday against monstrous crimes
against little girls. It Is supposed that
the indignation of the crowds wus ac
centuated by the escape from the guil
lotine of Solelllant, slayer of a 12-
year-old girl. Last week his sentence
was commuted to life imprisonment by
President Falllerea.
The greatest demonstiuiion occurred
nt Place Saint Ambrose, near which
lived little Martha Eberdlng, the vic
tim of Solelllant. The rage of the
women of this district has been great
since President Fallleres showed clem
ency to Solelllant. They assembled In
the afternoon with their husbands and
other of the sympathisers and were
augmented In numbers by crowds of
curious persons.
Their orderly erlea for justice w-ere
quickly changed to cries of “death to
Solelllant,” and ”do*n with Fallleres,”
ns the procession, led by a woman, who
carried a little girl on her shoulders,
with th© purpose of Indicating the ob
ject of manifestation, moved • toward
the Piaoe de la Republlque. Soon the
streets were choked by a vast mob,
and the police reserves were called out
to disperse It. The parade, however,
assembled again and several of the
more violent demonstrators were ar
rested.

Express when It should have been giv

Called Up All Stations.
In an Instant Browley and the men
with hint In the office realised what
was about to happen. Frantically one
of the men rushed to his key. His
nervous fingers Jerked out call after
call for Canaatv Operator John Gree
ley answered.
"Can you stop 267?”
Breathlessly they awaited Greeley's
answer.
"Gone; anything wrong?”
They didn't stop to tell him. Other
fingers were busy at other wires. Calls
for other stations north of Canaan were
clicked In short, nervous Morse. The
white-faced men were hoping ugalnst
hope.
Thoy got another station. Every ear
In the room was strained to tho sound
er that#spelled out the words that
struck terror to the heart of every man
in the offlpe:
"Express passed here.”
Ordered Out Wrecking Crewe.
They did nothing more. They sat
down In the office and, unable to look
at one another, awaited for tho ines-
sage to come that would tell of loss
of life—human beings crushed to death
as they slept—a scene somewhere along
the line of the Boston and Maine’s Con
cord division of untold agony.
It came finally, and they knew' that
their worst fears had been realised.
Even while the mes8<t H c whs clicking
over the wires from Cunaan, they were
ordering out wrecking crews and send
ing for doctors and nurses. That was
all they could do. Somebody had made
a blunder; had wrlten one little figure
when he meant to write another.
LOOKED LIKE WHITE,
BUT WAS W, H, GIBBS
II. Glhbs, of Cherokee county,
nml not Sam White, Is the name of the
man whose body was found beneath an
oak tree near the city dumping ground.
Thursday morning. Sam White, a vet.
eran railroad man, himself denied that
he waa dead Saturday, although two of
hl« friends, D. F, MeClatchey and D. F.
McClatchey, Jr., of .Marietta, hatl al
ready positively Identified Ills body ns
It Iny In Barclay A Brandon - * under
taking establishment. Mrs. Gibbs, of
Marietta, Identified the body Sunday
as that of her son.
Tho mistake In Identity was due to
nn extraordinary case of doubles. When
Mr. MeClatchey,-8r.. who has known
Sam White for a long time, heard of
the death of a strange man he went to
aid In the Identification. The body as
It lay In the undertaking parlors could
be none other than Sain White, he said.
By two broken fingers, by a scar or. the
knee and other mask*. as well as bv
general appearance, ho recognized hl’s
friend. To make perfectly sure, he sent
for his son and without telling him
anything of the matter led him Into the
room. Mr. MeClatchey, Jr., was shocked
to see the body of 8am White, his
friend, lying on the stone. lie declared
It could bo no other.
Together tho MeClatchey* went to
Marietta to break the news to the fam
ily. Almost the first person they met
was Sam White, looking much like the
body at Barclay A Brandon’s, but nev
ertheless hole and hearty. They were
dumfounded.
Mrs. Gibbs, also of Marietta, hearing
of the unknown man. went to Barclay
A Brandon’s and Identified the body us
that of her son, W. H. Utbbs, who had
been on a visit to her at Marietta, but
had gone to Atlanta Friday and had not
been seen afterward.
TWENTY-SEVEN SLAIN
IN VERMONT WRECK
Continued From Page One,
due to the mistake In placing a cipher
after the three In the number of the
train Instead of a four.
Wrecked In Fog.
The wreck occurred Just after the
express had rounded a curve Into a
straight stretch of track, but owing
to the fog and early morning mist,
neither engineer saw the other's head
light until It was too late.
The baggage car was hurled back
Into the pasesnger conch and tore It
asunder from end to end. Only a few
wlnduws were broken In the smoking
car. Tho Ill-fated passenger coach was
crowded with more than fifty people.
As the train was rounding a curve
some one In the front of the car began
to sing, so that nearly every one was
awake whon the crash came. Those
who were In the other cara recovered
their dazed senses, jumped out to the
side of the trnrk and hurried to the
demolished passenger coach, where
gronns, cries and ahrleks were rending
the atr.
The train hands, ably seconded by
the passenger* from the sleeping cars,
groped their way among the ruins and
began the work of rescue. The bodies
of the dead were laid beside the track
quickly, while the resouers turned their
attention to those who needed aid.
Mangled Forms Resoued.
.The bleeding and mangled forms
were dragged out and laid on the backs
of broken seats or upon blankets from
the sleeping cars. Wounds were hasti
ly bound up and cut* tanched by
strips of bedding from the eteepers. The
little band worked diligently In the
dnwnlng light before the doctors came.
Farmers lent every aid to the work of
sucoor.
Frank Ryan, a hrakeman on the ex'
press, was enught In the wreck and
had nn artery severed. He was uncon
scious for nearly fifteen .lhlnutes, and
when he regained his senses his first
thought was qf the Montreal Express,
which he knew was thundering down
on the wreck with no flagman In the
rear to wave a warning signal. In a
few words Ryan told of the approach
ing danger, and the Montreal Express
was stopped only u quarter of a mile
from the rear of the wrecked train.
Crowds Visit Scans.
As tho sun rose the full horror of
the disaster became apparent. Along
the side of the track lay the dead yet
uncovered. A little further off were
the living, some of thorn stretched on
the ground with relatives and friends,
but more otten total strangers binding
up their wounds and encouraging them
in the thought of a speedy medical aid.
There were a comparatively few In
that crowd of passengers who did not
show some wound from the disaster.
The scene of the accident waa
thronged with people all day and the
work of the train wreckers was Im
peded. The track wns cleared finally In
the afternoon, although several hun
dred feet of rails had to be relatd. The
rear of the express train slopped di
rectly over a bridge over a small river,
but fortunately the sleeper did not
leave the track.
Killed While Asleep.
The express vis speeding along at SO
miles an hour when the engineer, John
E. Hallahan, saw the fiash of a head
light ahead. He applied the brakes,
but there was not the slightest chance
to avert a craeh. The freight engineer,
B. F. Hurtlelf. also put on the brakes;
Then both engine crews leaped and
escaped Injury. In an Instant the crash
came. The engines, one on the excur
sion and two on the freight, were tan
gled together and destroyed. The bog.
gage car was driven backward through
tho day coach, telescoping It. Not one
pc rson In that car escaped death or In
jury.
The next car was a smoker and here
many were hurt. In the sleeper, which
was of more substantial construction,
no one was wounded. Ore side of the
coach was ripped off.
It was 1:24 In the morning when the
accident happened. Tho passengers
were asleep or nodding and some of
those who perished passed from mortal
tc eternal plumber without awakening.
Boy Begins Singing.
One of the Injured survivors said that
-■me of the passengers bad been dis
turbed by a hoy who began singing
softly and that at that time a little
party left the coach and went back to
the smoker. "It was a procession from
death to life," ho said, "‘for In another
minute the trains had collided. The
man I had been sitting with In the
coach was killed."
“For a minute,” said another passen
ger. "there was no sound. Then we
heard the cries of the Injured and aa
speedily as possible, began to drag
them from beneath the seats, wrecked
side walls of the car and from tho
heavy Iron work of the running parts.
It. was a horrible sight as we put the
victims In a row alongside the track;
acme dead, some dying as the night
waa breaking Into full day.
"As rapidly as possible we bound up
the injured with blankets and sheets
taken from the sleepers. There was no
tlmo to care for the dead and they were
left there uncovered.
Women Are Heroines.
"Women who were able played the
parts of heroines. After they had re
covered from the first shock of the ac.
cldcnt, they turned to and attended the
Injured. No wound waa too revolting
to turn them away from this task, and
thus they labored for an hour until the
physicians began to arrive."
It waa a piteous spectabtu. There
was hardly a person In the train but
lost some member of his family or
found a relative maimed In that awful
row along the ditch.
The bagage car had telescoped com
pletely through the second car, cut
ting It diagonally. At the end of the
car a man hung with his head jammed
between two timbers, his feet being
three feet from the ground. He had
apparently been thrown up when the
timbers buckled and was caught at tho
same Instant. Ha had been Instantly
kllled.
Taken Out Alive,
One woman seemed to be Inextrica
bly tangled by her lower limbs In the
timbers. She walled piteously and kept
asking If she would be gotten out olive.
Some one gave her brandy and three
ethers held her up while others chopped
her loose. She was taken out alive and
the doctors said .she stood a good
chance of recovering. She was sand
wiched In between two dead bodies,
one above her with the fragments of a
sc at between, and another Just beneath,
with another seat separating It from
her.
Inalde the car-one of the passengers
w as doing splendid work In getting out
the dead and Injured. He got out an
elderly woman who was badly crushed.
Just beside her lay a two-months-old
baby. The baby was finally rescued by
rutting a hole through the timbers. It
had hardly a scratch. Its mother was
dead. The baby was given In charge
of a sister of the mother.

ARMY SHOES PROVE
CLEW TO IDENTITY
Betrayed by their shoes—such was
the misfortune of Wallace Love aud
Albert Terrell, two of Uncle Sam's sol
diers, who were arrested by County
Officer West as vagrants last Friday
near Hapevlile, but who are now being
held until they can be turned over to
the United States authorities.
For several days the two men had
been loafing around the neighborhood,
and when Policeman West arrested
them he considered them merely ordi
nary hoboes, who would probably get
shout thirty days In Judge Calhoun's
justice mill. But coming In on the car
with his prisoners he began looking at
their feel. The more he looked the
more uneasy his prisoners became. It
did not take Officer West long to de
cide that the shoee were of tho last
manufactured exclusively by Uncle
Sam. Further Investigation developed
the fact that they wore some more of
Uncle Sam’s furnishings. Then the
two young men broke down and ad
mitted that they were deserters from
the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh
Coast Artillery at Fort Freemont, S. C.
They are now In the county Jail
awaiting word from their commander.
